Learn AI Fundamentals & Practical Skills in Just One Hour

This one-hour workshop introduces NECC faculty and staff to the basics of AI using Microsoft Copilot, a free tool that can streamline everyday work tasks.

Through hands-on practice, attendees will explore practical applications including drafting emails, creating teaching materials, generating rubrics, and building PowerPoint outlines.
